That looked for all the world like an MCL sprain.
I've sprained an MCL - twice in fact. Both times playing ball and ultimately they're annoying and you CAN play through them, but not at a high level. Both times were my right knee and it makes it damn near impossible to break to your left. You've gotta drive off your left leg to get there rather than plant and turn off your right. It doesn't work well and honestly it's probably not terribly safe. You're asking a lot of your left knee at that point and really one weird cut could do a LOT more damage to your right.
A little rest will have it firmed back up in 2-3 weeks. If it even takes that long. It's just unstable for a little bit in your knee. If you're just out there ****ing around you can nurse it along and be fine. If you're playing SS for an MLB contender, you need to have a seat.
DeJong is a perfect short-term solution for them. Hell, the guy can probably play a little 2b for them or even DH as a RH power source.
